The Chinese government has given directives to concerned authorities that they must work together to bring down emissions on three major highways connecting to 20 Chinese cities including the country's capital city, Beijing.

China's Meteorological Administration on Tuesday has barred regional forecasters from issuing smog alerts to prevent mismatches, a move that has raised suspicions and received great criticisms from the online community.

Beijing is planning to install air purifiers and air filters in schools as the city continues to come up with new ways to battle with smog, according to the new initiative announced by the Education Municipal on Thursday.

As smog fills the air in the Northern Regions of China, a report by the Ministry of Environment released on Monday indicates that there was a fall rather than an increase in the county's smog condition by the end of October.

The world's biggest air purifier, which not only removes pollutants and cleans air but also turns smog into jewelry, made its debut in Beijing, China, on Thursday. The Smog Free Tower is designed by Daan Roosegaarde as part of his Smog Free Project.

Just over a week ago, the city of Beijing has issued its first ever warning on air pollution. And now, it has once again raised the 'red alert' status following the heavy smog that covered the northern part of China.
